Magical sums it all up - I first saw the Bourne Swan Lake 25 years ago - and as regularly as I could in the following years - and it just gets better - loved every aspect.

Susan Tully

Absolutely fabulous. I’ve been waiting 30 years to watch this ballet. I travelled from Australia to watch it at Sadler’s Wells. It was a wonderful evening. The dancers are fantastic.

Isabelle Van De Werve

Absolutely brilliant, the choreography, the costumes, stage, the quality of dancers on bare feet, is beautiful. I would recommend to read the story from Matthew’s Bourne production before to have a Clair understanding of his interpretation..
